Mimi brought over 2 1/2 pounds of blood oranges, or 13 3 ounce fruits. She wondered what sort of marmalade these would make – and so did I. In order to really taste this rather subtle citrus, no flavoring, such as vanilla or spice, was added. Start by soaking and scrubbing the fruit, then cut 1/4″ from each end and halve. Cut out a little triangle of core and put in the cheesecloth lined bowl for the pectin bag, scraping out any seeds at the same time. Slice each half thinly, and measure. 2 1/2 pounds yielded 8 cups of sliced fruit. Put in a large pot, add an equal amount of water and the pectin bag, and boil for 30 minutes, then cover and take off the heat. At this point, let the mixture sit about 8 hours, usually overnight, or refrigerate for later use.
The golden rule for marmalade and preserves is to cook no more than 6 cups per batch. Since this yielded 8 cups of cooked mixture, I split it into 2 batches of 4 cups each. Bring the fruit mix to a boil, then add an equal amount of sugar, which in this case was 4 cups. Add 2 tbsp of lemon or lime juice. Keep the mixture at a boil. Bring the canner to a boil and have your jars ready. This reaches the gel stage in about 30 minutes, but can take longer, depending on your stove. Ladle into jars leaving 1/4″ head space, and process for 10 minutes. This yielded 18 4 ounce jars.

Installed inside a trailer, the durable chain-rail conveying system improves product throughput, reduces cargo damage and optimizes available warehouse resources. Once a forklift positions the cargo during the loading process, the Freight Runner™ conveyor automatically indexes it toward the front of the trailer making room for the next load. Unloading is just as simple. A full-sized semi trailer loads or unloads in as little as two minutes. Trailer and equipment damage are also reduced, because forklifts never enter the trailer. Retrofitting existing trailers is an option, with installation a quick and easy process. The system moves up to 30 ton and tolerates cool temperatures, making it a good choice for use in cold storage facilities and refrigeration trailers. Systems can also easily be mounted to an existing dock, creating seamless cargo transfer between dock and trailer.

Adapt's vision for the future includes the following key goals:
i) Create a leading authoring tool capable of producing responsive and multi-device e-learning;
ii) Encourage wider adoption of Adapt's free and open source licence;
ii) Ensure Adapt's authoring tool is intuitive and easy to use especially for those with the limited technical knowledge; and

Let's take a closer look at what's great and not so-great about AdaptIntelligent Design: Component driven: Cost efficiency: LMS Compatibility: Languages: Track between devices: Add-on costs No offline-access: Animations: Who is Adapt currently idealfor?
Adapt's authoring tool is ideally for someone who needs to create courses that require 'linear navigation', need to be responsive across devices, are text and image based (no animations) and need to be created in a limited time frame.
However, for a course creator who needs to create content that can be accessed offline by his learners, Adapt Authoring Tool is not the ideal tool. Currently Adapt doesn't support 'branching scenarios' either — if this is a requirement, course developer can only avail this feature via a paid version of Adapt authoring tool.Can Adapt Learning impact evolution of the eLearning world?
Experts believe that given Adapt Learning's open source framework and authoring tool and its limitless potential, it would drive a significant change in the rapid learning development industry.
There are admittedly concerns like the learning curve is initially a bit higher and additional time needs to be invested, but the results would over time outweigh the investment.
Others believe that despite some obvious design limitations and even though Adapt is not yet a mature product, it is far from a fade. It will pave the way forward towards "unencumbered design in eLearning" which will allow instructional designers to explore

Back in May, the Wall Street Journal claimed that Google was working with a handful of manufacturers to release five Nexus devices later this year. According to a new rumor, HTC has been selected to create one of the new Nexus devices and is basing its handset on the HTC DROID Incredible X.
According to the anonymous source, the Google Nexus 5 will be running on Android 4.1.2 which isn't a huge improvement over Android 4.1. The latest version of the Android OS includes improvements to Project Butter, extra lockscreen functionality, minors system tweaks and bug fixes. The hardware on the Google Nexus 5 is said to include a 5-inch 1080p display, quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro, 12 megapixel rear camera, 2 megapixel front-facing camera, a large 2,500 mAh battery and up to 64GB of internal storage.
The source claims to have received the details of the Google Nexus 5 from a "reliable source within HTC" but has offered no real evidence to back up his claims. For now, we'll be filing this report with the other Nexus rumors (Samsung, Sony and LG) and hope at least one of them turns into a real product that we'll be able to buy within the next month or two.

Quite a stir was made on Tuesday when news hit the interwebs (including on A&R) that an illegal fuel pump was found on Max Biaggi's Aprilia RSV4 Factory race bike at Assen. With World Superbike regulations requiring that the fuel system be completely unmodified from stock, the story was two-fold as it appeared something about the #1 plated Aprilia was awry, and seemingly no penalty was levied by Race Direction.
Subsequent to this news Gigi Dall'Igna, Technical Director of Aprilia's World Superbike program, has categorically denied anything illegal about Biaggi's fuel pump, simply stating that the only difference between Biaggi's pump and those on Camier and Haga's RSV4's was the number stamped on the side…which was different on every unit. In addition to this news, Infront Media Sports emailed Asphalt & Rubber last night, and further explained the situation, also explaining that no irregularities had been found on Biaggi's race bike at the Dutch round.

I was able to make the install look very clean based on a few tricks I learned watching others do the install on YouTube. One thing for sure is "tight is right". The only thing I wish I knew prior to the installation that wasn't mentioned is to smooth out any bumps or ridges on the steering wheel by perhaps sanding them. The leather is of such a high-quality and stretched over the wheel so tight you can see bumps under the skin. Still it looks and feels terrific compared to the factory wheel.

Trouble With Your Movers? Call The Department Of Weights And Measures!
You might not immediately think of the Department of Weights and Measures when a scammy moving company is holding your goods hostage. Thankfully, Steve who is a Public Information Officer for the Arizona Department of Weights and Measures reads Consumerist. Steve writes:
Here in AZ we get involved with interstate moving complaints quite a bit. Basically if there's a dispute we'll show up and give a moving company three options:
1. Deliver for the original price, not the inflated one.
2. We take the truck to a certified commercial scale to be weighed. Then the truck returns to the consumer's address and unloads. We then take the truck back to the scale a second time to be weighed. The difference between the two tells us how much the furniture weighed. Based on the price per pound, we then know the true cost.
3. The driver can try to leave, but that could lead to arrest on charges of theft. We always call out the local police for assistance. Two drivers have gone to jail.
We save an average of $1,400 for consumers. In the past year we've saved them more than $100,000. A few weeks ago we saved one consumer $11,000.
Who knew the Department of Weights and Measures was so heroic? For more info, Steve provided a link full of good information for consumers.—MEGHANN MARCO

fannyd - a simple daemon for controlling fan speed and temperature on PPC LinkStations
Tested only on a KuroHG running OpenEmbedded/OpenLink, but should run on any PPC LinkStation that that has avr_evtd and hddtemp installed, perhaps with some modifications for the paths to the executables.
The code for it is listed below. If you are suggesting modifications to it, please perform those on the discussion page on the back, and also please comment your changes. Thank you.
Package for download: A package (.ipk) is available for anyone who wants it - it has been tested on the OpenEmbedded/OpenLink beta distro, running on a KuroHG. Send me a PM and I'll email you a copy.
fannyd is a daemon that controls the fan speed on a PPC LinkStation by checking the temperature (hddtemp -n /dev/sda, for instance) and comparing that against a user-determined temperature limit. If that limit is exceeded, then it sends a command such as
echo -n "]]]]" > /dev/ttyS0
to the AVR chip to switch the fan to high speed. This check is done periodically, according to a time-check period defined by the user. If the temperature is less than or equal to the set limit, fannyd lets the fan run a bit longer, and then drops the fan to lower speed.
fannyd produces no output.
Settings for fannyd are sourced from /etc/fannyd.conf , which is a readable, well-commented file. The default values are as follows:
DEVICES = /dev/sda1 CHECKPERIOD=600 TEMPLIMIT=40 UARTPORT=/dev/ttyS0
Note that CHECKPERIOD is in seconds and TEMPLIMIT is in Celsius. Also note that the UARTPORT value will vary depending on which distro you are running.
There are no options, but fannyd also comes with fanny , which is a non-daemon form of fannyd that performs a temperature check and fan adjust a single time when it is executed. In addition, it produces output that shows the hard drive temperature and which UART port is set.
fannyd requires avr_evtd and hddtemp.
/usr/sbin/fannyd /usr/sbin/fanny /etc/fannyd.conf /etc/init.d/fannyd
I wrote the scripts/code below up because of heat problems in on of my boxes. I noticed how hot the air comming out from the back was - much hotter than from my LS-HG. The KuroHG has a Maxtor HD, which brandwise seem to run hot. Knowing that heat decreases component life, I naturally saw the need to crank up the fan - but it made sense to have it on high only when needed - based on temp.
Since the HD is the greatest contributor to heat in our boxes I felt like smartmontools might have some potential for use here. Researching it, I saw hddtemp, which is much cleaner for this purpose.
After writing it up and testing it, a few conversations with other members here made me wonder if anyone else had stumbled upon the need for this type of functionality. Certainly there have been others, like this article entitled Fan Control at Kurobox.com.
Thanks to lb_worm for avr_evtd and Emmanuel Varagnat for avr_evtd and hddtemp, respectively - they did all of the hard work that made this so easy for me.

The historic Ore City Cemetery goes all the way back to the days of the old Murray League. You possibly have members of your family buried there, and may have plans for that to be your final earthly resting place.
The Ore City Cemetery Association was formed for the purpose of protecting and maintaining the cemetery. The costs of maintenance come from three sources: interest on the endowment fund, sales of lots, and donations from members of the community.
As you know, interest rates are at historic lows, and income from interest in our endowment has become insufficient to cover the cost of maintaining our cemetery. We have decided that this might be a good time to ask our supporters to consider making donations to close this gap between our expenses and our income.
Donations are tax-deductible, and may be made in the form of memorials or gifts to honor persons or institutions. Some give a memorial instead of, or in addition to, flowers at the time of the death of a friend. The Association will send a suitable memorial card to the family when such a gift is made.
We are going to take care of our cemetery. You can be assured of that, but we think we should protect our endowment fund for long-range care. Your donations can help us to meet both of those goals.
Gifts may be mailed to: Ore City Cemetery Association (or just OCCA) at Box 1073, Ore City, TX 75683, or given directly to the treasurer, Sherry Morgan, at Newsom's Grocery in Ore City.
David Williamson, Director
Ore City Cemetery Association

WASHINGTON (AP) — The FBI says that 72 law enforcement officers were killed in the line of duty last year, up from 56 the year before.
An additional 53 officers died in accidents, and 54,774 officers were assaulted in the line of duty.
The average age of officers killed in the line of duty was 38.
Of the 72 slayings, 23 were in arrest situations, 15 were ambushed, 11 were in traffic pursuits or stops, and nine were in tactical situations.
The report says 29 deaths happened in the South, 21 in the Midwest, 10 in the West, and 10 in the Northeast. The other two were in Puerto Rico.
Sixty-nine of the slain officers were males.

Bret Michaels opens hospitality room at St. Joseph'sPosted: Updated:
PHOENIX -- Rockstar Bret Michaels is giving back to the Valley hospital that he says saved his life.
On Tuesday he unveiled a music and relaxation room at St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center.
In 2010, Michaels was rushed to the hospital after suffering from a subarachnoid hemorrhage, a life-threatening type of stroke.
He was in critical condition, and remained at Barrow Neurological Institute for the duration of his treatment.
St. Joseph's Hospital is the home of Barrow Neurological Institute and Michaels was treated by Barrow neurosurgeons. He then returned to St. Joseph's in 2011 to undergo a heart procedure to close a hole in his heart.
"It is a blessing and I say this by the grace of God and a lot of good medical attention, that I'm standing here," Michaels said.
Michaels has since fully recovered, and decided to give back with the Bret Michaels Hospitality and Music Room. It's decorated with guitars and never-before-seen inspirational pictures and art. The room also features many pieces of Michaels' personal music memorabilia.
"Regardless of what you like and what you listen to music is such a huge healer for people," Michaels said. "It gets you up when you need to get up and if you're feeling down, there's music to relate to. I think in this room people can find almost anything they want to relate to."
It's a place where patients and their families can escape, and the hospital couldn't be more grateful.
"What i found is that the man who wrote every rose has its thorns, is actually a rose among thorns," said Dr. Joseph Zabramski, Bret's neurosurgeon at St. Joseph's Barrow Neurological Institute.
St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center treated more than 31,000 patients in 2011 in the hospital, and 450,000 patients in its out-patient clinics and other facilities. Barrow Neurological Institute does more brain surgeries than any other hospital in the United States.

Top 5 Most Audacious Health Care Statements
Conn Carroll /
President Barack Obama's speech at yesterday's White House Health Care Forum included a number of statements that are either false or highly misleading. Unfortunately yesterday was not the first time we heard these statements from the White House. Some fact checking is in order:
1. President Obama said: "The cost of health care now causes a bankruptcy in America every 30 seconds. By the end of the year, it could cause 1.5 million Americans to lose their homes."
ABC News reports:
The figure comes from a 2005 Harvard University study saying that 54 percent of bankruptcies in 2001 were caused by health expenses. We reviewed it internally and knocked it down at the time; an academic reviewer did the same in 2006. Recalculating Harvard's own data, he came up with a far lower figure – 17 percent.
The extrapolation of Harvard's data to "a bankruptcy every 30 seconds," which Obama also mentioned in his address to a joint session of Congress last month, comes, per the White House, from a 2005 Washington Post op-ed by Prof. Elizabeth Warren, a co-author of the Harvard paper. Fact-check.org has noted that even using Harvard's numbers, it's more like a bankruptcy every minute; indeed if you add up all bankrputcies in a year you barely get one every 30 seconds. (I've e-mailed Warren for comment.) But more to the point is that the Harvard data are clearly inflated, or at best, mischaracterized.
2. President Obama said: "Medicare costs are consuming our federal budget; I don't have to tell members of Congress this. Medicaid is overwhelming our state budgets; I don't need to tell governors and state legislatures that."
This statement is true, but since being sworn in President Obama has only made the problem worse by expanding Medicaid eligibility. In fact Obama's health care plan includes a Medicare for all option that will explode government health care costs.
3. President Obama said: "I know that more will be required, but this is a significant down payment that's fully paid for, does not add one penny to our deficit."
We're confused … is his health care plan "fully paid for" and "does not add one penny to our deficit" or "will more be required." And if "more" is required, will that also be "fully paid for" or will pennies be added to our deficit? And if not deficit spending, where will the money come from?
4. President Obama said: "So if somebody has insurance they like, they should be able to keep that insurance. If they have a doctor that they like, they should be able to keep their doctor. They should just pay less for the care that they receive."
We agree with these goals 100%. Problem is the government run health plan in Obama's larger health care scheme will force people out of their current private plans and into government programs that many doctor's refuse to participate in.
5. President Obama said: "That's why we asked concerned citizens like the folks on this stage to organize open meetings across America where people could air their views. As Travis said, more than 3,000 meetings were held in all 50 states and D.C.; more than 30,000 people attended."
These "open meetings" where held in the dead of winter, many of them in the week between Christmas and New Years. Only the most devoted the most ardent supporters of Obama's plan showed up. The 30,000 people that attended are not representative of the American people in anyway, and the information the received at the forums was riddled with false facts.

Hi everyone,
I'm running into this problem lately with Firefox. I have a window that opens up to edit/add entries.
When the window renders there's an intermitent problem where some of the fields render their container div way too large and display a horizontal scrollbar underneath
It's not always the same, sometime it renders fine, sometime it doesn't for one field, sometime 2 fields...
See screenshot attached to see what I mean.
It only seem to happen with Firefox (3.0.10). I've tried with Flock (2.0.3) and it doesn't happen. I don't remember seeing that before on FF either.
Anyone has any idea what's causing this?

KRSKO, Slovenia (AP) — Slovenia's only nuclear power plant shut down automatically on Monday after a drop in pressure in a steam generator and there was no danger of a leak, officials said.
Slovenia's Nuclear Safety Administration said the shutdown happened shortly before noon and that "all safety systems functioned properly." An investigation was being conducted and "the situation is under control," Andrej Stritar, the head of the agency, told the state STA news agency
The plant in Krsko, some 60 kilometers (37 miles) east of Ljubljana, the capital, was built by Westinghouse and is owned jointly by Slovenia and Croatia. It went into operation in 1983 and has one 2,000 MW reactor.
In June 2008, a faulty valve caused a water leak in the plant, raising alarms across Europe. Another incident briefly closed down the plant in March 2011.
Environmentalists had urged the Slovenian government to shut the plant down before its scheduled closure in 2023 because of safety concerns.

Govt grants asylum seekers 3 days' notice
The Abbott government has promised to give three days' notice before trying to return to Sri Lanka a group of 153 asylum seekers, who are being held aboard a Customs vessel outside Australian territorial waters.
In the High Court on Tuesday, the government for the first time confirmed their existence, amid rumours in the past week of a boat carrying children.
The group, which includes children as young as two years old, was intercepted at sea en route to Australia but won't be processed under the Migration Act because they never entered territorial waters - a decision slammed by Labor and the Australian Greens.
George Newhouse from Shine Lawyers, who is representing 48 Tamils on board the Customs vessel, said while government was "showing some compassion" by undertaking to give three days' notice of any intention to return them, their future remained uncertain.
The group has been on board the Australian Customs vessel in the Indian Ocean since being intercepted in the last week.
Late on Monday, the High Court granted an urgent temporary injunction preventing the return of the 153 to Sri Lanka ahead of Tuesday's hearing in Melbourne, where Commonwealth Solicitor-General Justin Gleeson undertook to give 72 hours' notice before moving them.
Refugee rights activist Ian Rintoul said the decision would come as an "enormous relief" to the asylum seekers.
"It is only a temporary fix, but it's blown a bit of a hole in the government's treatment of asylum seekers," he said.
The government had previously declined to reveal any details about the boat, citing its longstanding policy not to comment about on-water operations.
But Mr Gleeson told the High Court on Tuesday that Australian authorities had intercepted the boat 12 miles outside Australian territorial waters.
This means the asylum seekers' future would be determined by the Maritime Powers Act, not the Migration Act, he said.
The matter will return to court within 21 days for a directions hearing.
This is the second recent asylum seeker incident, with another boat intercepted off the Cocos Islands in late June.
The 41 asylum seekers on that boat were handed back to a Sri Lankan navy vessel after screening at sea by Australian authorities.
The government said the group of 41 did not risk persecution if returned.
In Galle, Sri Lanka on Tuesday, the group faced court on charges of attempting to leave the country illegally. Twenty-seven were granted bail, five were remanded in custody and nine children were discharged.
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees has criticised Australia's treatment of these asylum seekers, saying the UN's experience with onboard processing has generally not been positive.
"Such an environment would rarely afford an appropriate venue for a fair procedure," the UNHCR said in a statement.
Labor immigration spokesman Richard Marles also expressed grave concerns about processing at sea.
"The only reason this has not occurred is to protect this government's political scoreboard," he told reporters in Melbourne.
Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young said the government should allow asylum seekers to be processed in Australia.
"I don't want children detained on a prison ship out on the high seas," she told reporters. "Let's get them off that ship first and talk about what appropriate and humane treatment they should be given once they have set foot on land."

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate Republican leader, who last year accused the Obama administration of Nixon-style dirty tricks, said Friday the Internal Revenue Service's targeting of conservative groups is part of a broader government assault on free speech.
Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky seized on the spate of controversies besetting the White House, saying Americans are recognizing a pattern of attack on First Amendment rights across government agencies, the administration, President Barack Obama's congressional allies, left-wing groups and public employee unions.
"As serious as the IRS scandal is, what we're dealing with here is larger than the actions of one agency or any group of employees," McConnell, who is up for re-election next year, said in a speech to the conservative American Enterprise Institute. "This administration has institutionalized the practice of pitting bureaucrats against the very people they're supposed to be serving, and it needs to stop."
White House spokesman Jay Carney said the charge leveled by McConnell was "demonstrably bogus."
"As I'm sure the minority leader in the Senate is aware, the independent inspector general has testified and has made clear in his report that he has found no evidence that anyone outside of the IRS had any involvement in the inappropriate targeting of conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status," Carney said.
Speaking to the same organization last year, McConnell accused the administration and Obama's re-election campaign of leaking tax information and maintaining an enemies list in a chilling style reminiscent of President Richard Nixon, the Republican who resigned in 1974 amid the Watergate scandal. McConnell's criticism was largely dismissed as election-year hyperbole.
In the first six months of Obama's second term, the administration's problems have produced an assortment of political targets for Republicans. One is the IRS affair, which has resulted in resignations and departures from the agency. So far, no evidence has come to light that anyone in the Obama administration outside the IRS was involved in targeting conservative groups for extra scrutiny when they applied for tax-exempt status.
Other issues facing the Obama administration this year include government surveillance of phone and Internet records; its handling of last year's terrorist attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, which killed four Americans; the Justice Department's seizure of phone records of journalists at The Associated Press and, in another case, reading the emails of Fox News reporter James Rosen.
McConnell referred to the IRS episode with a bit of I-told-you-so.
"When I warned about all this last year, I got slammed by the usual suspects on the left. They said I was full of it," he said. "But even some of them now seem to realize that just because McConnell is the one pulling the alarm doesn't mean there isn't a fire. The IRS scandal has reminded people of the temptations to abuse that big government, and its political patrons, are prone to. People are waking up to a pattern here."
In comments certain to appeal to Republican voters, McConnell described public sector unions as power hungry and able to expand their reach with the help of congressional friends. He said the unions no longer serve the public's interest but rather serve the government's.
"There's no better illustration of this than the announcement this week that in the midst of congressional hearings into their activities, unionized employees at the IRS are about to get $70 million in bonuses," McConnell complained.
Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said earlier this week that the IRS plans to hand out $70 million in bonuses to employees. Under a contract with the employees' union, IRS workers can receive individual performance bonuses of up to $3,500 a year.
In response to Grassley's criticism, the agency said it's under a legal obligation to comply with its collective bargaining agreement with the National Treasury Employees Union. The agency and the union say they are in negotiations over the matter.

A few days ago I received a marriage proposal from a religiously committed young man. He stipulated that I should not complete my studies and that I should not work outside the house, and I do not know what to do. Please note that I live in Morocco and there are no schools that are not mixed. Please advise me, may Allah reward you with good.
If this young man is pleasing in terms of religious commitment and character, as seems to be the case from the conditions he stipulated, and you (your family) know him from before and he is compatible and suitable, then what we think is that you should agree to marry this person who has proposed to you. The conditions that he has stipulated indicate – in sha Allah – that he is indeed religiously committed and has a sense of protective jealousy. Such a suitor should not be rejected because he stipulated these conditions. It is no secret that there are negative factors involved in studying in a mixed environment and also in a woman's going outside of her house, which exposes her to the misbehaviour of foolish people in many countries and on many occasions. It seems to us that the brother who has proposed to you does not want to prevent you from acquiring knowledge or working, but he does not want that to be accompanied by haraam mixing or exposure to any mistreatment. Rather he wants that to be in your own private realm and secure refuge, which is the marital home. This is something good and we can only advise you to accept it, especially since you will be able to acquire beneficial knowledge by means of open education programs or distance study, or by following Islamic education programs on trustworthy TV channels and websites, in addition to gaining this religiously committed husband and keeping away from the negative effects of mixing.
We have previously discussed the issue of mixing in the workplace and at school in the answers to questions no. 1200 and 103044.
With regard to choosing a husband, we have previously discussed this matter in several answers which we hope you will look at. See the answers to questions no. 5202, 6942, 69964, 8412, 105728.
And Allah knows best.

Timbaland is following 50 Cent into the headphone business by signing on as an investor in his company.
The Candy Shop hitmaker founded SMS Audio LLC in 2011 and his range of electronics has been a big hit among fans.
Now Timbaland is throwing his support behind his pal's business venture by funnelling his own cash into the firm and agreeing to serve as a member of the corporation's board of directors.
The music producer, real name Timothy Mosley, will also help design new products.
He says, "50 Cent has created an aspirational audio brand that produces the highest calibre of headphones on the market. I'm looking forward to working with 50 and being part of a company so eager to bring studio-quality sound to music fans all over the world."
And 50 is happy to have Mosley as his partner: "As an entrepreneur in the music industry, I have great respect for Timbaland and his evolving role as a producer, artist and influencer. I welcome his expertise and guidance. Timbaland will be a huge asset to the SMS Audio team as we move forward with new and innovative audio products."

The North Georgia mountains around Dahlonega have been a long time favorite of tourists who want to enjoy beautiful mountains. In the past several years the area has also become a favorite among road and mountain bicyclists.
Over the last six and a half years we have been open as a bed and breakfast inn we have seen first hand the popularity of these beautiful mountains with bicycle riders. Often we see them slowly climbing up the mountain in front of the inn on US 19.
Lately there have been cyclocross races scheduled at Montaluce Vineyards. The next one scheduled is 10/18/2009 at Montaluce. Cyclocross bikes are a cross between a road and mountain bike. The races typically require riders to complete a course with off and on road as well as areas where the rider gets off the bike and carries it. It can be exciting to watch.
We also have seen a resurgence in interest in the mountain biking scene. Nimblewheel gap is a favorite. The Fools Gold 100 and 50 mile mountain bike races were held this summer.
This weekend we have the 6 Gap Century ride across the mountains. Many riders participate in the event.
In past years we have also been host to a leg of the Tour de Georgia road bike race. Lance Armstrong has ridden in front of the inn a couple of times. The race was cancelled this year due to funding but is scheduled to return in 2010. Many of our guests return every year for the event. The downtown finish line area is always festive and exiting.
There is a new web site that covers biking in the North Georgia mountains in the Dahlonega area. Upcoming races and rides are also featured. Visit Dahlonega Cycling for more information.

In 2012, the Santa Barbara Foundation, together with its donor partners, distributed more than $20 million in charitable grants. These community investments helped to fuel the good work of community organizations — primarily in Santa Barbara County — making significant impact by addressing critical challenges and compelling needs.
Year-end grants are a component of the foundation's charitable giving. In 2012, the foundation provided $2 million in year end grants to 41 nonprofits.
Grants are supported by income from the foundation's unrestricted endowment and are awarded competitively based on a rigorous process of research, due diligence, planning and evaluation. Three types of grants were offered in 2012 — core support to help organizations address basic needs such as hunger, shelter and health care; capital support to maintain, improve and expand infrastructure and facilities as a means to address community needs; and innovation grants to support fresh ideas and fuel new approaches to long-standing problems and emerging issues.
Known as Strategy Grants, these grants are the foundation's largest responsive grants program (grants normally above $5,000 and up to $75,000) and cover a range of areas including arts and cultural expression; education and youth development; protection of the environment and historical places; sustainable economic growth; safety; health and human services; and civic engagement.
"Giving is not just a word here but a way of life," said Ron Gallo, president and CEO of the Santa Barbara Foundation. "With the help of many individuals, families, and aligned philanthropic institutions who have chosen to invest in and with us at significant levels, we will continue to work toward enhancing the quality of life in our communities and strengthen the way that our nonprofits work so they can, in turn, increase their efficiency and impact. We are endeavoring to accomplish things that can only be achieved through a sustained partnership with an inspired philanthropic sector."
As the community foundation for the entire county, the Santa Barbara Foundation takes three core components as fundamental to its mission — partnering with donors; strengthening the nonprofit sector; and identifying and addressing community needs.
Through donors' passions and strategic grantmaking utilizing the foundation's expertise, purposeful philanthropy goes beyond dollars in the community impact achieved. The continuous integration of inspired investments into the community, along with careful stewardship of foundation assets, is the catalyst for positive change that is the key to the successful collective future of all county residents.
"This past year was a model of donors working together with the foundation in creative ways to make meaningful changes in the community," said Jan Campbell, senior vice president of philanthropic services at the Santa Barbara Foundation.
The foundation's discretionary investments in 2012 were made with funding by partner investors, including the Orfalea Foundation, the Cavalletto Charities, and through Santa Barbara Foundation donor advised and field of interest funds.
